CLINTON: Excerpts From China Report
--===Excerpts From China Report===--
*By The Associated Press*
Monday, May 24, 1999; 11:04 p.m. EDT
Excerpts from the congressional report on Chinese espionage aimed
at U.S. nuclear secrets and satellite technology:
``The People's Republic of China (PRC) has stolen design information
on the United States' most advanced thermonuclear weapons.
``The Select Committee judges that the PRC's next generation of
thermonuclear weapons, currently under development, will exploit
elements of stolen U.S. design information.
``PRC penetration of our national weapons laboratories spans at least
the past several decades and almost certainly continues today.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``These thefts of nuclear secrets from our national weapons
laboratories enabled the PRC to design, develop and successfully
test modern strategic nuclear weapons sooner than would otherwise
have been possible. The stolen U.S. nuclear secrets give the PRC
design information on thermonuclear weapons on a par with our own.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``The stolen information includes classified information on seven
U.S. thermonuclear warheads, including every currently deployed
thermonuclear warhead in the U.S. ballistic missile arsenal.
``The stolen information also includes classified design information
for an enhanced radiation weapon (commonly known as the `neutron
bomb'), which neither the United States, nor any other nation, has yet
deployed.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``In addition, in the mid-1990s the PRC stole, possibly from a U.S.
national weapons laboratory, classified thermonuclear weapons
information that cannot be identified in this unclassified report.
Because this recent espionage case is currently under investigation
and involves sensitive intelligence sources and methods, the Clinton
administration has determined that further information cannot be made
public without affecting national security or ongoing criminal
investigations.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``The Select Committee has found that the primary focus of
this long-term, ongoing PRC intelligence collection effort has
been on the following national weapons laboratories:
--Los Alamos --Lawrence Livermore --Oak Ridge --Sandia''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``With the stolen U.S. technology, the PRC has leaped,
in a handful of years, from 1950s-era strategic nuclear
capabilities to the more modern thermonuclear weapons
designs. These modern thermonuclear weapons took the
United States decades of effort, hundreds of millions of
dollars and numerous nuclear tests to achieve.''
